This anthem of the 1960s rings clear today; the story never changes. War brings death to innocent people and war brings death to the very young and the very strong. Some folks would like to justify our war in the name of freedom. They want to hide behind the mask of deceit. Clearly, we were deceived into a war and clearly some of our very best have died because of deception. Politics aside, we were lied to, and shame on us for reelecting a man no better than the enemies he hunts. Shame on us for using God as a reason for following the leadership of an ungodly man.
